President Donald Trump lost his cool with a reporter on Air Force One after she asked him about the Epstein files.
The reporter, who was off-camera and later identified to be working for Bloomberg, asked Trump, 79, if there was anything “incriminating” in the Epstein files during the flight from Washington D.C. to Mar-a-Lago on November 14.
“Quiet,” Trump said, while cutting the reporter off and wagging his finger toward her. “Quiet, piggy.”
Trump’s latest outburst came less than a week after the House Oversight Committee released over 30,000 Epstein-related records provided by the Justice Department. While the president’s name is mentioned in emails from Jeffrey Epstein, he is not explicitly accused of any wrong-doing.
In one email exchange between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the disgraced financier described Trump as “that dog that hasn’t barked.”
“[Redacted victim’s name] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned,” the email continued.
Maxwell, 63, replied, “I have been thinking about that…”

Trump’s exchange with the Bloomberg reporter on Air Force One was followed by another encounter two days later that frustrated the president with a reporter from the same publication. The unnamed reporter began to speak as Trump paused, but the former Apprentice host wasn’t finished speaking and her interruption angered him.
“Could he be…” the reporter began as a followup to a previous question from a fellow journalist asking about Tucker Carlson, but Trump stopped her with a glare.
“Can you let me finish?” Trump snapped at the Palm Beach airport on November 16. “You are the worst. You’re with Bloomberg, right? You are the worst. I don’t know why they even have you.”
